Hearing Chen Ge's suggestion, the driver did not agree immediately. He frowned and snuck a glance at Chen Ge. There was suspicion in his eyes.
Perhaps from his perspective, Chen Ge had an ulterior motive for insisting on getting out of the car with an injured woman.
From his appearance, Chen Ge gave a good impression. He was friendly, kind, and polite, but the heavy backpack next to him made the driver uncomfortable. There was a faded smell of blood coming from it.
Did I run into a bad guy?
He hesitated for a moment before starting the car. "Okay."
The taxi continued to move forward. The driver continued to talk to the air, and the other two passengers in the car ignored him.
Chen Ge stared at the woman in the passenger seat. He used his Yin Yang Vision to scan the woman, but he did not notice anything out of place.
The woman seemed to know that Chen Ge was looking at her, and in the rearview mirror, her lips slowly curled upward.
This smile, combined with her pale skin, made Chen Ge feel quite creepy.
"Keep smiling. Let's see if you can still smile after we get out of the car." Chen Ge grumbled internally. He had no idea where the woman's destination was, but since they had run into each other, he might as well accompany her until the end of her journey.
The streetlights dimmed, and the trees on both sides swayed in the wind. Their shadows reflected on the road, and it was very uncomfortable.
The driver talked to himself inside the taxi. He seemed to be having a good time chatting with the woman, but in reality, the woman had not said a single word since she got into the car.
In this strange atmosphere, the taxi drove another few hundred meters before the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.
The car stopped abruptly, and due to inertia, Chen Ge's head almost knocked into the back of the woman's seat.
"What's wrong?" One of Chen Ge's hands was inside the backpack, and the other grabbed the door. If there was any danger, he would break down the door and jump out of the car.
"There's a child in front of us." The driver was so scared that cold sweat was pouring out of his body. He pointed at the road before them.
On the left side of the road, there was a boy carrying a black plastic bag.
He looked about seven or eight, and he was wearing a light white T-shirt. His expression was anxious like he was scared by the incoming taxi.
"Why is there a child in the middle of nowhere?"
The driver opened the window and was about to stick his head out when Chen Ge suddenly said, "I suggest you don't stop here."
"Are you worried that it's a scam?" The driver nodded. "I've also seen it on the news. Some adults deliberately let their children play on the side of the road. When a car passes by, the child will be frightened, and the adults will immediately run out to blackmail them. Because it's the child who is frightened, even if there are surveillance cameras, it's hard to tell. In the end, many people fall for it."
"Scammers ask for money, but what you've encountered is asking for your life." Chen Ge said in a low voice. He was also wondering if the driver had a physique that attracted ghosts. Before they even entered the White Dragon Cave, accidents had already happened one after another.
Just in case, Chen Ge used Yin Yang Vision to scan the driver, and in the end, he realized that the man was indeed just a normal person.
"If the problem isn't with the driver, then it's probably because of me." Chen Ge remembered clearly that Jia Ming, who had been possessed by the shadow, had fainted outside the tunnel. As for what the shadow had done inside the tunnel that night, no one knew. "Could the shadow have done something inside the tunnel?"
Pah!
Just as Chen Ge was thinking, someone suddenly knocked on the window next to him. He turned to look, and a child's face appeared next to Chen Ge.
Through the window, a smile appeared on the child's pale face. His body leaned against the window like he was looking into the car.
"Are you looking for something?" Chen Ge also smiled. He gripped the handle of the hammer and slowly pulled it out.
This was a very strange scene. The ghost outside the car was up to no good, and the person inside the car was up to no good.
The child's small hands slapped on the window, and palm prints slowly appeared on the glass. The child's palms appeared to be stained with red mud, and the originally clean window was soon dirtied.
The child's pale face swayed among the palm prints, and it looked quite scary. However, the driver was more worried about the passenger behind him. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, and he was smiling at the child outside the window. The two appeared to be playing some kind of game.
"Er …" The driver wanted to lighten the atmosphere in the car, but he opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.
"Let's keep going. Don't worry about this brat."
"I don't think that's a good idea." The driver was hesitant. It was not that he was kind, but he was worried that the sudden start of the car would topple the child. If the child was crushed by the wheels, the consequences would be dire.
Probably because he heard what Chen Ge said, the child started to slap on the window even harder, and more palm prints appeared on the glass.
"Keep slapping. If you dare, then go ahead and smash this window." Chen Ge seemed to have a bone to pick with the child outside the car. He looked at the child with a taunting smile.
"What the hell is going on?" The driver was speechless. So this is not your car? If you really smash it, who am I supposed to talk to?
He coughed several times and asked the woman in the passenger seat, "Do you know this child? He should be staying in a nearby village, right? "
When they met a ghost, they would ask another ghost what to do. Chen Ge seemed to see his own shadow in the driver. He did not say anything, and his expression did not change.
The woman in the passenger seat did not say anything, but the driver kept nodding like he was convinced by someone.
He waved at the child outside the car and looked at him with hesitation. Then he opened the backdoor. "Come in. Since you're going to the same place, I'll drop you off together."
The backdoor opened, and the child climbed into the car with the black plastic bag. He sat next to Chen Ge and stared at Chen Ge.
"What's your name? Do you remember your parents' phone number? "The driver started the car and asked the child a few questions.
After waiting for a long time, there was no reply. The driver turned to look and saw the child staring at Chen Ge. He had no idea what they were up to.
"Whatever, I don't care anymore." The driver gave up. He placed the phone where he could reach it and turned on the walkie-talkie. "Is anyone in Eastern Jiujiang? There's quite a lot of work today. "
He was panicking and wanted to find a normal person to talk to.
A middle-aged man soon replied, "You still dare to go to Eastern Jiujiang? Over the past half a month, several drivers have been injured, and some even fainted. "
The middle-aged man seemed to be the driver's acquaintance, and they often joked. "Don't scare me, I'm a coward."
"I'm being serious. Eastern Jiujiang has been very chaotic lately. You should read the news yourself."
"What news? I'm running a job."
"Don't be so casual. This morning, the police found …" The middle-aged man stopped talking.
"Found what?" The driver slapped the walkie-talkie. "Why is it broken now?"
Initially, it was nothing, but when the middle-aged man said that, the driver's confidence dropped.
The car slowed down, and he took out his phone to search.
There had been several cases in Eastern Jiujiang recently. He skimmed through them, and his eyes were soon attracted by a piece of news — An adopted child escaped from his adoptive father's home, and his body was found on Eastern Jiujiang's Linjiang Road.
"Isn't Linjiang Road the road I'm on now?" The driver clicked on the news, and the picture that entered his eyes felt familiar. "This child …"
His body seemed to be frozen. The driver slowly raised his head and peeked at the boy in the back through the rearview mirror.
At that moment, Chen Ge squeezed next to the boy. He glanced at the black bag that the boy was holding tightly. "What's inside this bag? I saw you looking for something on the side of the road before you got into the car. "
The boy smiled at Chen Ge, and moments later, he said, "We're almost done. We're just missing a hand."
